about

Released as a 3" CD on David Daniell & James Elliott's Antiopic label in 2005, Oren, Tetuzi and I are pleased to make this available again. It was recorded on our first and only tour as a trio, in New Zealand, July 2004. Oren had sent me his first solo guitar album, "Stacte," out of the blue way back in 1998; I was blown away by it and met him in person on his next trip to New York. I met Tetuzi in 2002, and in 2003 both those guys released incredible solo guitar albums--Oren's "Triste" and Tetuzi's "Don't Forget to Boogie." It turned out that both of them had been influenced to work that way from my 1994 solo record "Sink the Aging Process," which was very cool to hear. Since we were all friends and had played in duos but never all together, we decided to do a tour.

The original idea was to hit Japan, Australia and New Zealand, but in the end only New Zealand panned out. I made some connections through Bruce Russell, who put out my "Evan Dando of Noise" CD on his Corpus Hermeticum label, and booked four or five shows for us over the course of a week. This recording came from a festival which attracted TV coverage--the three of us were actually on national television talking about experimental music as part of a report on this festival in Wellington. At the end of the week Oren had to return to Australia, but Tetuzi and I stayed on for another week and managed to get a few pickup gigs in Auckland. I stayed with Chris Knox for that entire second week and am still grateful for his hospitality.

Tetuzi came up with "Blues Deceivers" as a group name for us, although the CD was released under our names. We re-used the name for the first track on the 2016 Licht-Akiyama Trios album "Tomorrow Outside Tomorrow," which was the first time the three of us played together since the NZ tour (albeit remotely--Tetuzi and I played duo in Tokyo, Oren added his part elsewhere). I know, all this stuff gets confusing.
